source: New Oxford American Dictionary Yesterday, G got in trouble by the Legal Department at his public school for assigning a punishment to his students that is categorized as corporal punishment. Have your attention? Wonder what he did? Have visions of spanking? Paddling? Canings? Nope, he made them sing or recite a poem if…

Why School Events Drive Me to Drink
I am so not a fan of back to school nights or school social events. Maybe it is because I’ve been doing these for longer than most adults thanks to G. Or maybe because there are just too many elements of junior high among the adults. For example, these events at their school tend to…
HNT – Teacher’s Pet
“No one is here. Give me your panties.”“No! The janitor is still around.” He walked away. His classroom is shaped in such a way that from where I was standing, I could not see where he sent. But I did hear him locking his door. He shut the lights off on his way back. “There….
Day 271 – My What A Big Zucchini You Have
Garbanzo was given a huge zucchini today. By a student.They all know he’s on a diet, so this is what they gave him instead of cookies.Or they are doing what the pioneer thing and paying him in produce instead of money? It’s really hard to say. All I know – we got one big ass…
A Rant for Tuesday
Excuse the bitch session, but I do have to get a few things off of my chest. First – I’m going to kill my brothers. Yes, I am aware it is a bad idea to document your intent to kill two people, but it has truly gotten to that point. I found out over the…
Day 258 – The Church
Each time I get use the ramp onto I405 South, I see it. This old catholic church that’s cross is about the height of the ramp itself. The sole survivor of the freeway and bridge being built. The other buildings were clearly added after the project. And with each passing, I am reminded that I…
An Interview and Some Clean-up
I don’t do “nothing” well. I have discovered this while at work this week. I have nothing I can get accomplished due to people taking time off post-project, vendors not cooperating, etc. So, I did a whole lot of nothing at work. Then said fuck-it around 2-3pm each day and left. The only scheduled thing…
The Laptop Story
A couple years ago now, I bought my husband a laptop of his own. The idea was he would stay off of mine (I don’t share computers well being I’m a computer geek who likes my stuff a certain way) – and he could use it for school. The school desktop he was issued was…
Day 248 – First Day of School
Before I get to the pictures of the day, please go over and read Garbanzo’s account of what happened in our house tonight. Let’s just say it involves the phrase “using the word stealing is criminalizing the child”. It involved DJ, 4 10-yr old boys, a theft of a bike, and a confrontation between Garbanzo…
Day 244 – Teaching
Again, I have to thank people for their comments on my HNT picture! And thanks to Vixen and Sage for highlighting me on their HNT spotlights! For those new readers, I should explain briefly that I post a new picture each day. It’s part of a project called the 365 day project – where you…
